VerdanaThe world did not come to an end at
the new millennium, but did the 20th century museum? There have been
many changes in the world over the last few years, and many
organizations are struggling to find a new path in it. Is attendance
still the best measure of success? How do museums find their place in
busy school and family schedules? What role does tradition place in
changing museums and communities? How will new technologies change our
exhibitions and programs? How do we encourage diversity in museum
staff, volunteers and visitors? As the world changes at an even faster
pace, so will museums. At this year’s UHA/MANY Annual Conference we
will be examining how museums are keeping pace with changes in
society, and what the future may hold for museums and the communities
they serve.
The UHA/MANY conference is the largest gathering of museum
professionals and volunteers in the state. Each year it brings
together a diverse array of individuals from all types and sizes of
museums, historical societies and other cultural organizations. We are
excited to be holding this year’s conference in Rochester, home to a
large number of exciting museums, including our main host, the
Rochester Museum and Science Center. We invite you to join your
colleagues in a rich discussion of the ways in which we can reach to
the next generation
